War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not. During my scrolling earlier, I came across a pair of interviews already from today at Democracy Now! that seemed to zero-in…
Hot but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though we’re forecast for another ‘mega-heat wave’ this weekend (happily about as bad as our last hot spell, but not as ‘mega’ as the one in June), so enjoy for the right now. In surfing the InterWebs, the word, ‘coup,’ in regards to…
Despite being out of office/power for six months, the T-Rump continues to be a center of attention, though, all the notice is horrifying — even knowing full-well with a shitload of evidence he just might be one of the worse human beings who’s ever lived, reports surface he’s somehow worse. T-Rump’s mug to the left…
Some more climate-related news this Wednesday afternoon, and as such with the normal, seems like more bad news for the planet — and a quicker-major increase of CO2 into the air: Evidence collected in the study was historic — using two sets of measurement gauges, one on the ground, and another taken by airplane, and…
Journalism, or at least what figures as journalism nowadays, got front-and-center today in another dust-up between the marvelous Jen Psaki, and Fox News‘ Peter Doocy, one tone-deaf dumb-ass: Highlights via Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki disputed Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Wednesday about the importance of voting rights. During a press…
In surfing the InterWebs this afternoon, scrolling across news stories on Joe Biden’s speech, COVID anti-vaxxers, Texas Demo legislators fleeing the state to keep Repubs from choking-to-death the right to vote, a new T-Rump book revealing he’s an even worse piece-of-shit/asshole then we all thought (shock!), along with numerous other headline items, I ventured onto…
Out-of-country experience this Tuesday morning, and a look at the Afghan disaster. As I posted earlier this month, when I started this blog in April 2007, war was the main topic, with conflict-clusterfucks raging in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the latter getting just about-all the attention. And now more than 14 years later, the US…
A couple of whimsical, near-nonsensical items this afternoon which in the face of our current reality, should make one feel better, if just for a moment or two. Hope in the time of the virus: Despite a shitload of problems nowadays, a big chunk of Americans somehow can take the edge off the cut and…
A bit cooler than ‘normal‘ this late-morning Monday here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re scheduled for triple-digit temperatures again today, it’s off the full-blown crazy of this past weekend. Supposedly, we’re on a downward slide from this particular ‘mega-heat-wave’ with temps set for the low 90s by Friday, but back up for Saturday and…
In the long-short run, conservatives/Republicans are destroying America on many levels, from the ballot box to the classroom, but maybe the worse strike is death — fighting the fighting of a deadly virus that’s already killed more than 600,000 Americans is perhaps the most-immediate concern. Evident in yesterday’s antics at the nutjob CPAC convention in…
